Down the River

Sold my new pair of shoes down the river for gold Knock knock knocking the door but Misty's not home Out in the desert my lady left years ago She took all my money and spent it on flesh and bone Walk on down to the store for a fresh pack of smokes I hear them laughing, snickering telling their jokes I couldn't care less about whatever it is you said Don't need to whisper when you talk Cause I can hear you from a mile away I'm going to San Francisco I'm going to San Francisco today I'm going to San Francisco I'm going to San Francisco to stay There's a man on the ground, says he's selling hope I tried to dig on down and all I found was a hole It feels like this when you can't get where you gotta go Well we spin those wheels suddenly we know when your back is broke I'm going to San Francisco I'm going to San Francisco today I'm going to San Francisco I'm going to San Francisco to stay That's all I know
